Dear Cle Elum-Roslyn High School Students, Families, and Community,

On behalf of the entire Cle Elum-Roslyn School District and Cle Elum-Roslyn High School (CERHS), I am absolutely thrilled to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year! My name is Scott Brown, and I am incredibly honored and excited to serve as your new Principal. I can't wait to get to know all of you and become a part of our vibrant Cle Elum/Roslyn community.

I join CERHS with 29 years of dedicated experience in education, including 21 years in Building and District administration. I am passionate about creating student-centered learning environments and building strong relationships among everyone involved—staff, students, parents, and community members. My goal is to cultivate a positive and supportive atmosphere where every student feels a sense of belonging, can learn and grow, have fun along the way, and ultimately achieve their goals and chase their dreams.

What to Look Forward to This Year

As CERHS Warriors, you have an exciting year ahead with a renewed focus in your classes and numerous opportunities to excel.

• Academics: Many of our courses offer dual credit, allowing you to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously. Our diverse elective courses will help you develop skills in areas you're passionate about, while our core classes will provide you with essential knowledge for success in college, careers, and life.

• Warrior Spirit: Get Involved and Thrive!

We firmly believe that a well-rounded high school experience extends beyond the classroom. As a Warrior, you have an incredible array of opportunities to get involved and truly make the most of your time here. We are striving for 100% student involvement because we know that participating in clubs, athletic teams, or other activities fosters a sense of community, develops leadership skills, broadens horizons, and simply makes high school more enriching and enjoyable.

Whether you're passionate about sports, arts, academics, community service, or something entirely new, there's a place for you to belong and shine. From a variety of clubs and athletic teams open to all students, to unique student leadership opportunities, we encourage every single Warrior to find their niche and contribute their talents. Your involvement is crucial to building a vibrant school culture, making new friends, and discovering hidden passions. We also offer plenty of opportunities for parents to get involved, including joining one of our booster clubs that support various school programs.

Welcoming New Faces to Our Team

This year, we're excited to welcome several new staff members to our CERHS family, all dedicated to supporting our students:

• Mr. Avery is joining our team as the Dean of Students/CTE Coordinator.

Let's Connect!

I am truly excited to become a part of the Cle Elum-Roslyn High School family and to contribute to the continued success of our students. My door is always open, and I encourage you to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. I'm committed to being accessible and responsive to your needs, and I look forward to partnering with you in supporting our students’ journey to success.
